Title: Aussie Heelers??
Post by: alphabravo on September 14, 2012, 06:11:53 pm


   Anybody use heelers as bay or strike dogs?? I figured they would be alright to use, but they usually are a bit small.

 anybody got anything to say about them??

How about Aussies for cow dogs? All I've seen are border collies and a few blue heelers but I've never seen anyone work an Aussie?

Two aussie breeders, dont know them personally or seen there dogs.

In my limited experience with cowdogs, you will have a easier time finding a border collie or kelpie,that works, unfortunatley  heelers and aussies have been bred mostly for looks lately , not saying all. The ones that have been brought here for training didint have the drive to make working dogs. Find someone that is using the dogs like you are  going to, watch there dogs work before you get one from them.
